What Kind of Nation Will Our Troops Return Home To?

Our soldiers are on the cusp of victory in Iraq. One of the
world's evil dictators is on the run, and might even be dead.
Iraqis finally have a chance at freedom -- if they can seize
the opportunity.

But what kind of country will our men and women return home to?

Will it be a country that makes secret arrests of American
citizens, as the federal Justice Department has done with
imprisoned Intel programmer Mike Hawash -- a family man now
held in solitary confinement without even being accused of a
crime?

Will it be a country where the Big Brother powers of the
Patriot Act (like spying on your e-mail and the books you
borrow from the library or buy) are made permanent, as the
Bush administration wishes?

Will it be a country where Americans can be stripped of
their citizenship simply for giving support (as bureaucrats
define it) to the wrong group (a definition also determined
by bureaucratic fiat)? That's what the proposed "Patriot
Act, Part II" specifies.

(See the links below for more on all these stories.)

Or will it be a country busily restoring its own freedom?

It's Americans' choice. We will be free only if we UNDERSTAND
the root principles that separate freedom from tyranny and if
we ACT to educate others about the fundamentals of liberty.

We can't rely on groups like the ACLU to protect our rights.
The ACLU is AWOL on crucial issues. The mainstream media is
AWOL on nearly every issue of importance. And NO organization,
no matter how well-funded or well-meaning, is good enough to
fight the fight alone.

We Need Gran'pa Jack and YOU

A short while ago, we sent JPFO members a free copy of our
latest Gran'pa Jack booklet. Gran'pa Jack #8 asks -- and
answers -- the question, "Is America becoming a police
state?"

The Liberty Crew now asks you: "What are you going to do with
this information?" What are you personally going to do to keep
your privacy, your freedom, your firearms, and your other
rights?

Please read that Gran'pa Jack booklet now, if you haven't
already. Then send in $3.00 to get another one for your best
friend. Or buy 50 copies for $20.00 --or 100 copies for
just $38.00 and distribute them to everybody you know. (When
you buy 50, you can get the companion book The State vs.
the People for just $9.95 more -- a savings of 50 percent.
Buy 100 copies of Gran'pa Jack #8 and get The State vs. the
People for only $5.95.) These prices include postage.

The big, powerful, well-funded institutions aren't going to
get the word out about freedom. Most of them don't WANT this
information to get out. It's up to you and Gran'pa Jack to
keep the Bill of Rights and your freedoms alive.
